Mrs. Brown's Business Communications class did a project on stacking cups using string and rubber bands focusing on the use how working together differed with the use of verbal and non verbal communication. One group was able to get the cups separated and stacked in a pyramid in under the 3 minute time frame!! 

For one of our school outreach programs DECA students are sponsoring Teacher of the Quarter to show appreciation for our amazing teachers. We started this the second Quarter and the DECA officers chose Supportive as the teacher trait. Students were able to nominate the teacher they felt was the most supportive. Then the top five nominated teachers went on to be voted on as the Teacher of the Quarter for Quarter 2. Mrs. Bullinger was the winner of Quarter 2 for being the most supportive teacher. Congrats Mrs. Bullinger.

Mrs. Palmer's Marketing II students just finished up a project on "Hot" Holiday Toys. They selected a product from specific decades that was a "hot" item at Christmas time, one that stores couldn't keep on the shelves. They explored the product, marketing strategy, and how marketing that product has changed over the years. It was a really fun project!

Congrats to Gabe LaFromboise and Tim Bentley! They were chosen as alternates for the JH All-State Band that takes place in Mandan in March. Way to go!
